Jeannie was a devoted Christian and loved her God. She loved and adored
spending time with her family and friends and took pride in being a wonderful,
dedicated, and loving wife, mother and grandmother. She loved providing special
dinners and family gatherings for holidays and birthdays.
She always had a smile and a piece of candy for everyone and was happiest when she was helping or giving to others. She never met a stranger and always put others first. She loved children and pets and always carried a place in her heart for her beloved little poodle “Jock”.
